Hi Bidgod44,

Welcome to the forums!

You asked: "How come kids mode wont work"

First, kids mode is not a feature that comes preinstalled on the  Note 3 device. It can however, be installed via the Google Play Store. Have you attempted to download and install it from there?

Also, keep an eye out for the newest update (not sure about timeframe). It should include a host of new features for the Note 3 device. I do hope you continue to discover new ways to enjoy your awesome device on Verizon Wireless!

Kids mode installer is included on the Note 3 with the latest update of 4.4.4 software.  I have just spoken to customer service and they do not know why we are unable to download the installation files.  When attempting to download you will see a message stating "Connecting to server", followed by a message "Currently unable to download.  Please try again later.".  VZW has opened a ticket with Samsung for me to find out why this is happening.  It is not a phone issue, it is a server issue on Samsung's side.

Kids mode isn't ready on Samsungs end of it As the same for Knox security..I contacted Samsung a few days ago being I got the update through Kies kinda wondering why it isn't? They've had months to work on 4.4.4. Yet deliver an update that's incomplete. I would also.like to add you might want to check and see if the DT Ignite app is in verizons version of this update and DISABLE IT!!!! As this is Malware that Verizon has added and it allows the installation of 3rd party applications without the consumers approval..

Kids mode is not working for me. When i try to download- it is showing an alert messgae saying "Currently unable to download." I chat with Samsung technician and he dont have any clue on that and gave me Google Play App Link (Kids Mode) that was not by samsung and he said both are same.

Knox will not be available for Verizon customers I was told by Samsung that they have opted to use their own security (STUPID) and as far as kids mode I've tried everything it's on Samsung. They've had 209 days to work on 4.4.4 you would think they could deliver a full update.

I was told to go into a Samsung experience center and have the update reflashed onto my phone I got the update via Kies and the one they want to flash is the same on my phone so I didn't do it bc it wouldn't of fixed anything gotta feeling we won't be seeing kids mode until 5.0 I would contact Samsung bc it has nothing to do with Verizon I believe.
